Second Life - If Users are left to themselves

I don't have a paid account to Second Life. One big reason: item 2.6 of the terms of service says that Linden Labs can shut down your account, on a whim, owing you nothing. I'll pass on that opportunity, thanks.

However, it turns out that you can clearly violate the terms in the Second Life TOS that are there to protect fellow denizens and have nothing happen.

Quite frankly, I'm not bothered what the SLLA get up to in Second Life. They actually raise a decent point about rights (however unappealing the tactics are).

Since the 'government' (Linden Labs) can take your money at their sole discretion and the 'government' lets the mob operate freely why would you want to do business in that environment?
